ABSTRACT

THE EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO THE ACADEMIC

PERFORMANCE OF GRADE ELEVEN STUDENTS

Technology plays the role of facilitator in educating a student. It enriches the educational

experience providing options that can accommodate students in their quest to learn. Along with

the positive effects of the increase in modern technology, there also comes the negative effect on

our education. When kids have cell phones in their classrooms they are extremely distracted

from what is actually being taught. They are looking down and playing their games or going on

social networking sites instead of listening to their teachers. Students can just look up the

answers to questions and copy them down word for word. When students do this, they do not

actually learn the material. The study aims to assess the academic performance of the students

who are experiencing the use of technology and relate it to the efficiency level of senior high

school management students in the intervention of technology use discipline. Surfing the

internet can be an interest for people. But people need to use it properly. Playing online games

reasonably can make people happy on free time. People also can increase the relationships

between friends by rational use of network. Indisputably, network is a good way to find the

information. But doing anything need moderately. Otherwise it will be bad for people. This

study concludes that technology makes a negative impact to the academic performance of the

students because of the excessive use of technology. But there are some ways to treat the online

addiction. Teachers can prohibit their students to use their gadgets during classes to avoid

distraction. Schools should produce a disciplinarian activity for the students for them to know the

effects of excessive use of technology. Technology is a big help for the people but it is bad if it is

too much.
 I. Students' perception on use of technology in the classroom at higher

education institutions in Philippine

Virginia Carbonilla & Shyam S. Bhati

Issue of unintended consequences of use of technology in class room is important

because unintended consequences can cause disruption in class room and negate the institutional

policies regarding strategic direction and intervention in teaching and learning process. Current

literature on the use of e-learning for teaching focuses on factors which increases the

effectiveness of e-learning but there is very little research on unintended consequences of e-

learning, particularly in regard to developing countries. The present research seeks to fill in this

gap in the research. This research investigates the consequences of the use of technology during

classroom activities in higher education institutions of Philippines when the students are

expected to do class work and attend to their work in the college. These questions were studied

using a survey method of research. The students sample consisted of 221 students from different

state colleges and universities in Caraga region of Philippines. Students' perceptions on positive

and negative consequences were observed. A ranking and frequency analysis method was used to

calculate the consequences observed. The most observed positive consequences were instant

messaging through chatting, lesson enquiry about assignments, sending and receiving e-mails,

research through surfing the net including data gathering by downloading files and sharing

cultural experiences with others through internet. Among the negative consequences listed by

students were accessing social websites like face book, twitter etc. during class work, playing

games, playing music, answering and returning calls and downloading and using copyrighted

material. It is further observed that incidence of positive and negative consequences vary with

the use of technology. The ranking of positive and negative consequences differ in all the three
cases of use of technology - computer with internet, laptop with internet and mobile with

internet. From the frequency analysis of positive, negative and net consequences of use of

technology in class room it is observed that students are most likely to have negative

consequences using mobile with internet. It is concluded that most students in state colleges and

universities in Caraga region in the Philippines are likely to use technology in classroom for the

purpose of positive consequences supporting the view that use of technology helps in enhancing

learning related activities in classroom

II. The Positive and Negative Effects on Student Achievement and the Various

Types Technology that Increase a Student's Ability to do Work Jennifer

Lyn Flanagan

Technology is the technical means people use to improve their surroundings. People use

technology to improve their ability to do work. Classrooms around the world have implemented

many forms of technology to enhance student interest and achievement. One form of technology

that is common to math classrooms is the graphing calculator. One eighth grade math class of

nineteen students from an urban middle school was taught a unit on Solving Systems of

Equations by Graphing. The unit was implemented with and without the use of the graphing

calculator. Students were first introduced to the unit through the use of pencils and graph paper.

All the graphing was done by hand and students had to determine the solutions of the systems of

equations by proper graphing techniques. The students were then tested at the end of the unit.

Students were then given the same unit but were now able to use the graphing calculator as a

means to enhance their learning of Solving Systems of Equations through graphing. Students

were then tested again but this time they were able to use the graphing calculator during the test.

Student achievement for the unit had risen and grades on the assessments had increased due to
the presence of technology. Student engagement and interest had also increased due to the

presence of technology.

III. The Negative Effects of Digital Technology Usage on Children’s Development and

Health RüstemMustafaoğluIstanbul University

Today, children and adolescents are growing up exposed to both traditional and modern

technology. While it is known that the increase in the use of traditional technology, such as

television and its content, have negative effects on children’s development and health, studies

have shown such modern technologies as smart phones, tablets, and computers that have been

developed and become increasingly widespread over the past decade to be beneficial and to

constitute health risks for children. It seems that children’s inappropriate use of such

technological devices in terms of content, duration, frequency, and the posture they adopt while

using them pose a variety of health risks, including developmental problems, musculoskeletal

problems, physical inactivity, obesity, and inadequate sleep quality. This study reviews the

literature on the clinical problems that digital technology use has on children. In order for

children and adolescents to adopt a healthy life style, it is important to monitor the time,

frequency, and content viewed while using technological devices and to ensure that children

have or develop adequate physical activity opportunities, healthy eating habits, proper sleep

cycles, and nurturing social environment.
